The release notes of iTerm2 version 3.5 mention 1Password integration:

The password manager can now use LastPass or 1Password rather than the keychain. Use the (⋯) menu next to the search field to configure it.

How do we use this? (And what's the added value?)

    In iTerm2, use menu Windows > Password Manager. At the upper right of the dialog that opens, use the ... (ellipsis) menu.

    The ⋯ you see in the release notes is simply a Unicode issue in the plain text. Its supposed to be an ellipsis character.

    I did that (before posting my question), but I don’t see a single entry in there…

    Does it work for you? (How?)

    Do you have the 1Password CLI installed?

    In the pull down, did you select 1Password integration? With the CLI (i.e. /usr/local/bin/op) installed, a dialog should then appear asking for your Master Password.

    Yes, I had to log in using Touch ID.

    However, after that the (iTerm) dialog remains empty. I don’t see any passwords and don’t know how to use them in iTerm.

    (There’s not much documentation about this, or I did not find it yet)

    Tag the 1Password items you want exposed to iTerm2 with iTerm2.

    Yes, that's the magic trick! Thank you.

    Where did you find that?
